If nothing ter ean be used, rye should be sown for pasture and hay. The leguminous winter cover crops should Hod a place ou many farms.

Red clover, bur elover, crimson clover and vetch are all grown In Boufh Carolina. Although In many oases the clovers have given good results for all types ot soil and conditions, vetch baa proved tbe moat eueeasaful. Last year there were approximately 1,000 Helda of vetch sown In Mouth Carolina. Many of thesa were failures, due to lack of knowledge of proper methods of eul- tureon tbe part of the farmer, but where the principles Involved In vetch growing were carefully followed suc cess was uniformly'obtained. Septem ber la the best month for towing. Hairy vetch it the beat variety to use. •Thirty pounds of vetch seed and from one to two bushels of oats, or from a half to a bushel of rye or wheat, par tore, make a good mixture, ho one should attempt to auw vetch on faod for the first .time without Inocu lating It. More failures lu vetch grow ing have been due to lack,of Inocula flon than from airy other oanse. A good yield of vetch will make from ope to three tons of hay per here, and it will come off the land In the spring .in time to plant a crop of eorp.or cowp and sometimes cotton.” ' / The Farmers’ tJohm ot tfo County baa borfrirod fii00>oeo tolerable Ha I® • held their ouMmi far It :/• " v-..' hlsiatdtbtt Chief Jnatloe Ira B. roes may he a cs ad Wats for Governor next year’s primary against Govern or Bieaae.
